The book that I am choosing is, Where The Wild Things Are. Maurice Sendak is the author and illustrator of this book. I have read this book several times. It may not be as popular as it was when I was a child, but is still being read by children today. I would like to familiarize people with the challenges the author faced. When the book was published in the 60s the author took a lot of raft for writing this book and it joined several other books on the challenged list. Overall, the book is still loved because it is about monsters and exploring the unknown.
